New Harley owner!
Just picked up a 2000 Xl1200 Sportster. I've been riding for 3 years now. I've had a DRZ400 for that time but have upgraded to an f4i and now this Sportster.
Drove 3 hours to get the deal of a lifetime on it. It has dry rotted tires, the PO rode without a front brake caliper and front brake line.
I plan on using it to commute and light stunting. I am coming from a supermoto and always wanted a Harley. I enjoy how the bike isnt wide like my F4i and I think it will make a great addition to my collection.
I am shooting for 9inch risers with dirt bike bars. Change the 21' front spoke wheel to a 19' mag wheel. I'm going to sandblast the tank and fenders tomorrow and going to settle for a decent quality spray paint as the bike was rattlecanned before but it was done horribly. I can see that the original color was a deep purple which I would have kept.
I plan on switchiching out the current forward controls for a mid control set up and adding two new rear side markers and turning them into brake lights.
I'll be browsing the online listings to see if I am strike so deals.
Ride safe out there!
PS pics of the bike will be added in a few hours.
